  • - The Politics of Charles Maurras and French Catholics 1890-1914
    af Michael Sutton
    565,95 kr.

  • af L. J. Hume
    475,95 kr.

    Most accounts of Bentham treat him as a prophet of either utilitarianism or of liberal democracy. This book discusses a less familiar but very important aspect of his political thought: his theory of how government institutions should be organised in order to function as efficient and yet responsive guardians of the community's interests.

  • af John Charvet
    403,95 kr.

    This book is about the grounds of ethical life, or the nature and basis of our ethical obligations. Charvet considers the ideas of the freedom and equality of men and shows that there is a radical incoherence underlying them which consists in the failure to integrate in a coherent way the particular and the moral or communal dimensions of individual life.

  • - The Crisis of the 1750s and English Party Systems
    af J. C. D. Clark
    515,95 kr.

    In this book Dr Clark provides the key component for such a new synthesis by a detailed exposition of the crisis of the 1750s, which was instrumental in the destruction of the party system and the emergence of new practices in the multi-factional world.

  • af Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
    471,95 - 1.375,95 kr.

    An English translation of Hegel's introduction to his lectures on the philosophy of history, based directly on the standard German edition by Johannes Hoffmeister, first published in 1955. The previous English translation, by J. Sibree, first appeared in 1857 and was based on the defective German edition of Karl Hegel, to which Hoffmeister's edition added a large amount of new material previously unknown to English readers, derived from earlier editors. In the introduction to his lectures, Hegel lays down the principles and aims which underlie his philosophy of history, and provides an outline of the philosophy of history itself. The comprehensive and voluminous survey of world history which followed the introduction in the original lectures is of less interest to students of Hegel's thought than the introduction, and is therefore not included in this volume.

  • - The Political Thought of the Elizabethan Catholics
    af Peter Holmes
    445,95 kr.

    Dr Holmes concentrates on the two principal dilemmas which faced Catholics: whether they should remain loyal to the Queen or might resist her government. He sees the Catholic response to both these problems as being an interplay between the desire to resist and the need to find compromise with the political and religious status quo.

  • af Harro Hopfl
    428,95 kr.

  • - Gladstone and the Liberal Party 1867-1875
    af J. P. Parry
    504,95 kr.

    This book relates the political history of mid-nineteenth-century Britain to the assumptions which then prevailed about the abstract moral purposes of political activity. A great number of mid-Victorian writers and politicians expressed far-reaching hopes for the future development of British society, indeed for its regeneration; and such hopes were inspired by their religious outlook.

  • - A selection from his articles in the Quarterly Review, 1860-1883
     
    461,95 kr.

    The third Marquis of Salisbury was one of the most successful political practitioners of modern times, as well as a major international statesman. The large body of journalism which he produced during the first thirty years of his career enables us to examine in detail the views on politics and society which underlay his practical action.

  • - A Study of the Origins of American Party Politics
    af John Zvesper
    407,95 kr.

    This book analyses the origins of modern party politics in America. Dr Zvesper argues that the partisan conflict between Federalists and Republicans in the 1790s was not merely an interesting historical sequel to the American Revolution and the framing of the Constitution, but was a confrontation of two of the fundamental alternatives of modern political philosophy.

  • af Karl Marx
    230,95 kr.

    This book is a complete translation of Marx's critical commentary on paragraphs 261-313 of Hegel's major work in political theory. In this text Marx subjects Hegel's doctrine on the internal constitution of the state to a lengthy analysis. It was Marx's first attempt to expose and criticize Hegel's philosophy in general and his political philosophy in particular.
